Fit to E1 groundstate data Assuncao et al.

Scattering data taken from:D’Agostino Bruno M. et al.,Nuovo Cimento A27, 1 (1975)

Plaga R. et al.,Nucl. Phys. A465, 291 (1987)

Calculation with parameters from:Tischhauser P. et al.,Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 072501 (2002)

ResultsResults

(E)=S(E)·E-1 · e-2

•Compare to old R-Matrix calculation [Kunz et al., APJ 567, 643-650 (2002)]

•New data available: capture to Ex=6.05 MeV Level (DRAGON)

•No sign of „missing amplitude“

• total cross section data available in broad energy range fit needs improvements fit to total data should correlate different amplitudes

• Monte Carlo Error Estimate• Normalization (e.g. different E1 GS data sets)
